As a fledgling, soon to be 61 yr. old woman artist, as women artists historically don’t become known until in their 70’s (i.e. Louises Nevelson and Bourgeois), there are many potential clientelles and without wanting to be viewed in a certain way as a cute animal rather than as a great intellect, self-recording, whether it be punk, dadaist or beat generation, as Martha Rosler suggested on your next visit to the Met (look at the Civil War exhibition, not the punk one). Knowing the defense mechanisms of clientelles (even Hitler did with his ideas for industrial design, the beetle for mass transit of the uber cool on their autobahns), this is our broadest possible goal and what design is about – to modernize or stylize and conform, so that one can buy natural beauty and be cool. Many elements come to play in music and art regarding this issue. To be naïve and to think that my way or the highway exists isn’t realistic. While figure ground and gravity feels real, there isn’t one esoteric vehicle – even if a group is the supposed majority. The future comes upon us very fast and we need to define a wide number of options in today’s society as an artist. Take it with a grain of salt and be there or be square.
